(b)

State a suitable inference

The size of the gas bubble depends on the depth of the water.
State a relevant hypothesis
The smaller the pressure, the larger is the volume of a (fixed)
mass of gas.

(c)

State the aim of experiment

To investigate the relationship between the pressure and volume
for a (fixed) mass of gas at a constant temperature.

Marks

State the suitable manipulated variable and responding

variable
Manipulated variable : Volume, V
Responding variable : Gas pressure, P
State the constant variable
Gas temperature,T // mass of gas, m

State the complete list of apparatus and materials

Glass syringe, a short rubber tube and Bourdon gauge

Draw the functional arrangement of the apparatus

-8-

State the method to control the manipulated variable

The piston of the syringe is adjusted until the volume of air in the
syringe is 100 cm3 at atmospheric pressure.
State the method to control the responding variable
The piston is then pushed in so that the volume of air trapped is
90 cm3.
The pressure on the Bourdon gauge is recorded.
Repeat the experiment four times with values
Repeat the experiment for (enclosed) volume /air trapped in the
syringe 80cm3, 70 cm3 and 60 cm3.

Answer
State a suitable inference
Resistance depends on // diameter of wire // thickness of wire //
cross-section area of wire
State a relevant hypothesis
The larger the diameter of the wire, the lower the resistance
(thickness // cross-section area)
State the aim of experiment
To investigate the relationship between the diameter of wire and
resistance of wire (thickness // cross-section area)

Marks

State the suitable manipulated variable and responding

variable
Manipulated variable : diameter of eureka wire
(thickness // cross-section area)
Responding variable : resistance of the wire
State the constant variable
Length of wire // temperature of wire // type of wire
State the complete list of apparatus and materials
Eureka wire (0.1 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm), dry
cells, ammeter, voltmeter, rheostat, metre rule, press-switch,
connecting wire

Draw the functional arrangement of the apparatus

State the method to control the manipulated variable,

responding
Connect a eureka wire (0.1mm) across terminal X and Y.

-10State the method to control the responding variable

Close the switch, adjust the rheostat so that the current flow, I =
0.5 A. Record the voltmeter reading, V. Calculate resistance, R
using the formula R = V/I
Repeat the experiment at least 4 times with values
Repeat the experiment is repeated with eureka wire 0.2 mm,
